You can bet the Man U game on Boxing Day will kick-off at 8 pm same as Liverpool last season.

If there are no fans in the ground will they all not be televised anyway?

Nope, that's stopped now, back to normal next season (with a few extra games over the course of the season).

 

I imagine we'll hear of a LCFC tv pass soon, allowing us to watch most or all of our games.

Unfortunately not - that was discussed on Talk Sport earlier today.

Doesn't look like it at the minute. No deal agreed to show every game that's behind closed doors.

 

Potential situation that some matches taking place in the top division in this country can only be accessed legally by people outside of the country, if, as someone else mentioned in the Fixtures thread, the broadcasters have blocked a "club pass" option.

Clubs also not allowed to live stream their matches on their social media channels.

 

May have to rely on Radio Leicester !!!

[goose2010]

Oh OK well thats a bit shit really. 

 

Probably will be some sort of pass if not will be available somewhere I suppose.

The 3pm blackout shouldn't be a problem in September as no clubs above the third level of non-league can accommodate fans in stadia. There is no excuse for not allowing fans to see matches in some way.

I don't know the ins and outs to be honest, but from what I gather the issues isn't necessarily the blackout, it's that Sky/BT/Amazon just aren't going to show all 10 games like last season, nor are they allowing clubs to broadcast their own games behind any sort of "pass" or paywall?

 

I totally agree, there is no excuse for not allowing fans to access the game legally. In fact by not doing so, they're basically encouraging people to pile together to watch streams, gather in those dodgy pubs etc.

 

Crazy situation we could find ourselves in. I imagine the three want a rebate on their rights figure to let clubs broadcast.

[RonnieTodger]

Oh ****ing hell, i'm not going back to Radio Leicester.

 

Surely there'll be a pass for ticket holders etc

The irony of it is how much the Prem has fought against illegal streams, to then likely go down a route that will encourage it 

[BakerLCFC]

Link to the talksport article here. 
 

Surprised more hasn’t been made of this as it is pretty shocking and is just going to encourage more fans to stream illegally. 

[jeffschlupp]

I get that the PL want to protect the interests of the broadcasters but in what way does showing the other 160 games, all of which will be Saturday 3pm games, exclusively to STHs/members per club affect their viewership?

 

How can you play 42% of the entire competition in front of literally nobody in the UK, or at best 22,500 people at Old Trafford and much less at every other ground? It's utter madness when only 9,750 of our 23k STHs will be able to go, never mind members, never mind the poor sods still unwilling to go and/or shielding.

 

At worst, why can't the PL hand the other 160 games to Sky and BT themselves? It is crazy that you can watch Leicester at 3pm in 211 territories and the only one you can't is the one it's being played in!

 

As others have said, the PL have spent millions and years of their time trying to crack down on illegal streaming, only for them to open the doors wide for it to be literally the only option for the majority of matchgoing supporters, never mind the rest.

And yet if you live thousands of Miles away you can legally watch any prem game you want! Ridiculous!

[CosbehFox]

You can’t gobble the TV money and say cheers Sky, now will you put every game on TV for us? 

[davieG]

As others have said it really is a no brainer and there's not a single legitimate reason for not having a streaming pass for ST Holders for all 3pm none televised games.

 

It doesn't affect the broadcasters in anyway and as for the 3pm blackout if it's only available to ST holders they would have been at the games at 3pm anyway.

 

I'm fed up with hearing how important fans are to the game well if they really believe that then they should treat those fans with respect and allow them to watch these games.

Get yersens iptv, **** the premier league the filthy whore bags

[Beachyboy]

If everyone in the UK cancelled Sky Sports/ BT sport for 6 months until some sort of normality is allowed to return in stadiums a message would no doubt be sent, but people don't they moan and pay anyway, the quickest way back into the stadiums properly if they aren't gonna show the games on TV, is just to boycott the whole game, this madness has been allowed to continue for far to long, the easiest way to send a message is by not giving these corporations any money until the beautiful game is returned properly. 

[Blue-fox]

This shows that the premier league and the TV companies literally do not care about football, just the money. Appalling.

I feel this definitely isn't done and dusted.

 

Fans should play hardball with Sky/BT and cancel their subscriptions.

[Foxes_Trust]

We have been working behind the scenes with Kat from the Spurs Trust (quoted in the BBC article) over the last couple of weeks when it became apparent that our concerns were not being listened to, Kat speaking to the media today is only the start of this campaign. We are going to contact all fellow LCFC fans groups & ask for their backing over the next couple of days. The club is aware of our views, but while we can lobby the clubs, it's the TV companies & political pressure that we need to target, the PL itself is too scared of losing TV revenue to lobby itself, so the pressure needs to come from fans groups

 

If someone on this message board wants to create something so the posters here can give their backing & we can total up the numbers in an easy way, it would be much appreciated

[StanSP]

I know fixtures were only just out a few days ago but any idea when first lot will be announced by Sky/BT? This on the basis that their initial quota of games to show is the same and they continue with their stance not to show all games. 

[Livid]

To be honest right now the broadcast companies don’t  want everyone  to get into the habit of not going and watching it all on TV.
 

We all know what ‘The product’ looks like with a empty stadium and it will no doubt look similar with a third of the seats full. 

 

They want to edge you into going back as soon as possible to full capacity stadiums showing the PL at it’s best. I don’t think they would have an issue with showing every game under normal circumstances.
